As a Frontend Web App Engineer, you will design and implement React-based features for web applications that integrate with the flight safety platform.

- Developing reusable components and shared frontend libraries
You should have 2+ years of experience building user-facing web applications (or equivalent through internships, projects, or coursework). Required skills include React, TypeScript, JavaScript, state management, and modern web standards (HTML/CSS). You'll need familiarity with asynchronous frontend patterns and working with APIs or data streams. Strong problem-solving skills, ability to learn from feedback and mentorship, and attention to code quality and performance are essential.
Bonus experience includes passion for aviation, familiarity with mapping or geospatial tools (Mapbox, Cesium), and exposure to live data or video streaming concepts.
